Here are some approaches and models that may inform your work with ethical issues:

• APPEAR model uses a staged approach, to encourage coaches to develop greater sensitivity and awareness in their practice, to be more mindful of ethical decision-making as an active process, and to consider a wide range of factors.
  • Ethical dilemmas and tricky decisions: A global perspective of coaching supervisors’ practices in coach ethical decision-making. Eve Turner and Jonathan Passmore, International Journal of Evidence Based Coaching and Mentoring 2018, 16(1).
  • APPEAR model for ethical decision-making appears in the March/April 2018 (Vol 13, 2) edition pages 42-46, Jonathan Passmore and Eve Turner (CAW online subscription needed)
• Ethical Decision Making framework - The Corporate Philosopher by Roger Steare has three phases:
  • (1) Preparation (checking in with ourselves on feelings and intentions, fact finding and uncovering options)
  • (2) Deciding

    Deciding what’s RIGHT:

    • What are the Rules?
    • Are we acting with Integrity?
    • Who is this Good for?
    • Whom could we Harm?
    • What’s the Truth?
  • (3) Testing the decision (considerations including consequences, respect, learning and the longer view).
    
    Each of the phases has an associated set of questions. These questions aim to evaluate options against the ethics of obedience, care and reason, moral values and a test of truth (openness, honesty and accountability).
• Four-sides Model (also known as the Communication Square) is a communication model by Friedemann Schulz von Thun. According to this model every message has four facets, though not the same emphasis might be put on each. The four sides of the message are: fact, self-revealing, relationship, and appeal.
• Five ethical dilemma steps by Michael Carroll (Ethical Maturity in the Helping Professions):
  

  1. Noticing an ethical dilemma!
  2. Capacity to make a decision that is aligned to our ethical principles and values
  3. Implementation
  4. Being able to describe what we did - rationale
  5. Closure – feeling ok?

• Five Functions of Leadership (Alberto Garcia-Jurado) – leadership is fundamentally a collaborative role and we have over-complicated it. Those that look to guide their teams to success though amazing collaboration need to master four essential functions.
• How Good People Make Tough Choices (Rushworth M. Kidder) breaks down complex philosophical issues into a step-by-step guide to show us how to grapple with everyday issues and problems, enabling us to think for ourselves rather than supplying us with easy, definitive answers.
• Drama Triangle and Winner’s Triangle
  • The Drama Triangle – Karpman - This helpful model unlocks the games played in miscommunication in dysfunctional relationships.
  • The Winner’s Triangle - Choy - a useful antithesis to the Karpman Drama Triangle taking a positive view. https://www.habitsforwellbeing.com/starting-to-shift-from-the-drama-triangle-to-the-winners-triangle/
• Relational approach to Coaching Supervision. This article by Fiona Adamson looks at the core skill in relational work. It is the capacity to make secure attachment relationships as learning and developing is best done within a safe and secure relationship that may also become reparative, a new kind of attachment for our clients.
  • Adamson, F. (2013) Core elements of integrative, relationship-based work. AICPT Journal, 3, 19-25.
• The Seven-eyed model was developed by Peter Hawkins and Robin Shohet and is commonly used by supervisors to help their supervisees reflect on the effectiveness of their coaching practice, by exploration through different ‘eyes’. The value of this model is that it maps the areas that supervision can focus on, making it easier to ensure that we have covered the ground.
• Stretching Ethical Dilemmas is a methodology for the exploration and resolution of ethical dilemmas in supervision.
  • Stretching Ethical Dilemmas – a creative tool for supervisors. Florence Lamy and Dr Michael Moral. Study presented at 7th International Conference on Coaching Supervision – Oxford Brookes University, 13 May 2017 and 7th International Coaching and Mentoring
• Systemic Constellations (Hellinger) offer a soulful way of illuminating pressing personal, professional and organisational issues through an accessible way of introducing relational maps to your clients, whether individually or in large groups.
• Questions we can ask ourselves and supervisee/coach when navigating your way through ethical dilemmas can include:
  • Who is the client?
  • Whose responsibility is it?
  • What is the real issue here?
  • What implications are there for all the parties?
  • Who else needs to know about this?
